Part 2/8:
In the early morning, Dan and his team unloaded approximately $350 worth of supplies, while I paid a modest $25 for a food handler's license. I kept a running tally of our expenses and projected earnings based on our anticipated hot dog sales throughout the day.
The Art of Hot Dog Making
With supplies set, my first task was to learn how to make a hot dog. Dan guided me through the basics, emphasizing skill and speed. The joy of making hot dogs stemmed not just from the cooking but also the interaction with customers and the art of choosing the right toppings.
During our conversation, I learned that starting my own hot dog cart would entail costs ranging from a few thousand dollars for a cart to essential expenses such as permits and supplies.
